21. conclusion
It is helpful for Chinese universities, especially the postgraduate school to know the education quality in a national context. The evaluation results can serve as the pushing hands for Chinese universities to promote the world-class universities and disciplines’ construction agenda.
The Chinese Academy of Science and Education Evaluation’s Chinese first-class postgraduate education and disciplines evaluation ( ) insists its own evaluation principles, and has its own characteristic. In accordance with the idea of based in China with global visions, the ranking results will help China have an overall understanding of the national universities’ postgraduate discipline’s developing status and trends. More importantly, the results will help the universities fully realize their status in a broad context, thus to know the gap between the individual discipline and the world-class discipline. The ranking results would act as the guide for individual universities or postgraduate school, even the educational authorities to carry forward the world-class universities and disciplines’ building initiatives.
